As it draws to the end of 2014 I've found myself beginning to write a list of all the things I aspire to achieve in the upcoming year. Aside from this, I've also had numerous conversations with friends regarding where we see ourselves in a years time and it has really got me thinking - where will I be this time next year? Of course, we all have hopes and dreams for our future but sometimes life has other plans. No way did I think a year ago I would be where I am today. I was adamant I was going to study law at university, I was (surprisingly) quite a shy and conserved person and I was no where near as mature (yes, when I need to be, I can be mature) as I am now. I had no idea a year ago that the person I was would be almost obliterated and a "new" Emma would have emerged; I thank the amazing and wonderful opportunities I have been given over 2014 for this much needed change.

As for where I see myself in one years time? I hope to have completed my first year of a four year university course in Secondary Education, majoring in English and minoring in Geography. I hope to have crossed smaller things off my list like camping with friends (can you believe I've never been camping before?? Lame, I know!), a little more travelling overseas and to be happy. I've written about it before, this year hasn't been the best for me and there have definitely been times where I haven't been happy, I just hope that in 12 months time I am truly happy with where I am and who I have become. Also, I hope that blog a lot more. I've been really happy with myself the past week or so blogging very regularly that I hope it continues and it just turns into habit for me to open up my laptop and begin a new post every couple of days.

Bring on 2015!
